Michelle - have you been tested for BRCA? If you are positive then you qualify for the PARP trials that are cropping up. When I signed up for the trial they did the test for free and I had my results within 2 weeks.
Sorry for the crappy news just before thanksgiving! PM me if you have any questions!
Hugs!
